Gents,

I'm looking to re-furb my 80 seat backs.  They are original, but I would like to repaint them.  Has anyone had any dealings with stripping the old color off and if so, what products work well?  I don't want to melt them, and I don't want to sand away any of the texture.  Also, Who makes a good fiberglass/plastic spray paint that is durable for this type of part?  I'm sure Eastwood has something, but curious if anyone has any hands on with a good product?  Thanks!

I am redoing my interior and I found an amazing product, when I go to shop I will write down the name of it. I would post you some pictures but I have never had any luck on this site with that

Thanks!  I am currently taking everything apart and cleaning up the seat mounts, so Its a work in progress.  New leather for the seats, so I will bring everything back to a "new quality".

I can't post photos anymore either.  Don't know why and I don't have a problem on other website forums.

Maybe you already have tried this, but I was successful in posting pictures by using the "Insert Image" icon on the message reply page.  The image has to be uploaded first.  To upload you need to scroll down in the "insert image" window, then select the picture.

Hope this helps and is not redundant to what you have already done. . .  It is certainly not straight-forward!

I've done that.  I hit insert image, I see the image uploaded, and then when I hit post, it's gone.
